Vermeer 505I general info

I recently traded my backup baler for a Vermeer 505 I. It’s the older style with dual spring tensioning system. I wanted something that made bigger bales to feed our cows.
I have a couple questions and was hoping someone may be able to help.
Is the square starter roll as big of a problem as it’s made out to be ? I notice lost of people complain about them.

What can I expect a grass bale to weigh out of the 505i. I know the super I had a better tensioning system and made a tighter bale.
